Interpolated mode

Mode allowing the user to attain, via software, larger image resolutions by creating new pixels, the characteristics of which are based on those of neighboring pixels.

Self-timer mode

Mode allowing the user to delay, for a defined period, the taking of a photo after having pressed the shutter button.

Burst mode

Mode allowing the user to take several photos in succession via a single touch of the shutter button.

Animated GIF

Animated image file format, commonly used on many websites, created via a succession of images in GIF format.

Digital zoom

Zoom carried out via software thanks to a mathematical algorithm allowing for the "enlargement" of pixels.

Travelling-Zoom

Innovative technology allowing for zooming onto the face or faces of people facing the camera and following them around. This allows the user to always stay in the camera's frame during video conversations.

MegaPixel (MP)

Unit of measurement of the number of pixels displayed in a still image or one taken from a video sequence. 1 MP = 1 million pixels.

VGA resolution

Resolution of 640 pixels horizontally and 480 pixels vertically (640x480).

Fps (Frames per second)

Unit of measurement of the number of frames displayed per second in a video sequence. The higher this value, the more fluid the video will appear.

CMOS sensor

Electronic component allowing for the measurement of light intensity at a large number of points to generate a digital image of the scene. Moreover, CMOS technology carries out this task with low energy consumption.
